Clint Barton has posed:
Another day in the life. But Clint? Clint couldn't stop thinking about a secret badass teacher who happened to be ex-mafia. So, Clint had sent her a text.

'Hey gorgeous (don't hit me),

I'd love to take you out to dinner tonight when you get off work. I'm thinking the versailles diner? Meet me there this evening. Don't even have to dress nice.

See you soon,
Clint'

Of course, it didn't take long for Clint to be at the diner, with him just playing on his phone as he waited for her. The question was, would the crossbow specialist be there?

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli would have punched him if he'd said it in person. She still might; she hadn't made up her mind yet. But for all the flattery and flirting, at least he's a pretty decent guy. That goes a long way. Particularly in Gotham.

So, perhaps against her better judgment, Helena finds herself arriving at the diner, dressed comfortably for the weather. Entering she looks around and finds him already seated. Making her way over, she slows at the table and offers a smile, "Hello. Hope I'm not too late. I had some additional papers to grade today."

Clint Barton has posed:
Clint had a feeling she was what you call a BAMF.

Bad-Ass-Mother-Fucker.

If he called her gorgeous, even if it was flattery and a genuine attempt at flirting, he had a feeling she'd throw a mean right hand and try to break his nose. Though honestly? Clint was a little bit surprised to find her entering the diner, with the Avenging Archer giving her a warm smile when she arrives properly.

"Hey."

He gets out of his chair and steps closer to her. "Totally okay. I appreciate you being here." He takes a moment to look at her. Really look at her, and he smiles. "Please, sit!" He gestures to the chair. "I uh, didn't know what you'd like today, so I didn't order for either of us. I've actually never been to this diner, but I read some good reviews." He shrugs.

"How was school today?"

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli smiles. He did have his own sort of charm that grew on a person. She nods and moves to sit across from him, getting comfortable. "Oh this is fine, thank you. It's hard to go wrong with a diner. There's usually something for almost any mood." She picks up the menu and skims over it to see what stands out.
"Hmm? It wasn't bad. The usual. Reminding GenerationTxt that UR is not the same as y-o-u apostrophe r-e when writing out an actual term paper or email that isn't to just friends" she remarks with a shake of her head. "Otherwise just the mid term papers that needed grading." A shrug.

"How was your day in the life of an Avenger?"

Clint Barton has posed:
The question is, did he grow on someone like, in a charming and attractice way, or did he more like grow on someone like a parasite?

Who knows.

But Clint listens to her with a soft smile, and he chuckles a little bit. "It's why I like asking you to dinner dates. I feel like there's the least chances for me to do something wrong, or stupid." He shrugs al ittle bit.

But he's -listening- to her as she talks. "Heh, always trying to be clever, right? Did it make you laugh a little bit?" He questions her. As per his life in the day of an Avenger, Clint shrugs. "Set 18, shot 18. Honestly, it's mainly just been training all day. No major crisises have been popping up where the Avengers have been called in, so...yeah."

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
The jury was still in deliberations.

Helena tilts her head, "Do something wrong or stupid? That's an awfully cynical perspective isn't it?" she wonders.

A shrug, "It's less amusing the longer into the school year it goes without the students figuring out that there is more to English than text shortened conversations. But there are usually a few papers that provide entertainment I'll admit."

"Hmm.. I think a lack of new crisis in the world is probably a good thing. We don't really need anymore with what's going on in New York City and all.." she says with a shake of her head.

Clint Barton has posed:
"Heh, yeah. But it looks the Justice League has the situation in New York handled." Clint suggests. "Believe me, the whole inter-team drama is really crazy and overwhelming. Just one of those things where it cna just happen you know? Believe me, just" he whistles. "Just lots of explosions, really. Besides, I don't really have any angel arrows."

He lifts his eyes to her. "Unless I'm cupid." He winks at her. "No, not cynical. More nervous than cynical, you know?" He questions her with a bit of a smile.

"That makes sense. You could be the teacher that makes the students put a phone in the box before class starts." He chuckles a little bit. "But, I'd say so." he says amusedly.

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli shakes her head, "The whole idea that angels are actually fighting... really messes with my good religious upbringing admittedly.." she continues to skim the menu for what she may want.

"Well I don't know what you have to be nervous about. You're the one that's an Avenger. I'm just a teacher." She manages to actually keep a straight face while saying that.

Clint Barton has posed:
Clint looks at Helena then and he chuckles. "Heh, I didn't really have a religious upbringing but...I'm sorry that you're having a rough time with it." Clint hums a little, though as he skims the menu, he smiles. "The steak is always a good option. The Ribeye, medium rare. Ugh, it's to kill for." Clint suggests to her.

Though he chuckles. "True, but you're partly responsible for the next generation and all that. I'd say you have an incredibly important job too." Clint suggests with a smile.

Helena Bertinelli has posed:
Helena Bertinelli shakes her head, "No, I'm not really an actively practicing Catholic these days. Old habits and all that, though." She considers, "I think I'm going to go with the pot roast and veggies."

She laughs, "well if I'm responsible for the next generation.. the world is going to be in for it. One way or the other!"
